I am 80 and grew up in Pa.. Back than we had an Italian Restaurant that was known for their Tomato Pie. My Mother used to make our own Tomato Pie just like the Italian Restaurant. She made her own raised pizza dough from scratch, and used a can of Italian Plum Tomatoes, which she cut into pieces. She laid them on the dough after spreading some olive oil on the dough. Salt and Pepper and laid slices of Pear cheese on top of tomatoes. Baked till melted and brown. We got our Pear cheese from an Italian cheese store that actually looked some what like a pear and it hung from the ceiling of the store with a cord string wrapped around it. I loved walking down memory lane with you. Can't wait for the next one.
